Fuck you!

You've taken too many lovely souls, Little Annie, Godfather Drake, Ophelia...wonderful spirits who belonged on this world. You chip away at everything beautiful...

Gnawing and eating away at the heart, lungs, hair, fight, and ultimately their courage.

Why must you be so cruel...to take my beloved away?

No one wants to contract this disease.

You're the odd character, the dark shadow nobody really wants to be around...

The devil in disguise, lurking, waiting for the opportunity to strike, waiting until they are vulnerable.

You bastard, targeting her when she has no strength left!

removing everyone from this lovely place

Stay away and be wary; no one seeks you here.

Not the victims, not the innocent

You travel with the devil-like package, waiting for the soul to open that door.

Everyone must be cautious of the monster lingering around. He will be observing and hiding in plain sight.

Screw cancer, say it with me.
